We are using Adaptec 2940UWs (Ultra Wide) and they work great. I'm not
sure about the 3940, although I heard that it works on FreeBSD, so it
should work on NetBSD.

We are also using these cards, and get ftp throughput of nearly
7Mbytes/sec between hosts on the same subnet. UDP performance is right
up at 10Mbytes/sec. A few of these machine have multiple EtherPower
10/100s, and it handles that fine too.
